I've just started looking into emailing overdue notices to our members. I tried out the overduenotices.pl script but it doesn't seem to be working. I don't get any output when I run it with the -n parameter (no email, output to stdout) but I also don't get any errors. Does anyone have this working correctly in 2.2.9 (Debian Sarge)? OK, I just realised that it checks the "Overdue notice required" flag in

The documentation at kohadocs.org seems to suggest that since version 2.2 none of the scripts for calculating fines work. Is this true? I'm still curious which fines script I should use. The fines module in Koha is a fine example of a feature that hasn't been fully exposed to the system administration section of the admin interface. For now, the assumption is that if you need to enable fines and you're managing Koha yourself (as opposed to getting commercial support from one of the available providers), you'll be spending some time customizing the fines script and module to suit your needs. That said, have a look at the fines2.pl in misc/ that relies on C4/Circulation/Fines.pm, it's a good example of how to start out with fines management in Koha.
Hope that helps. Cheers, -- Joshua Ferraro SUPPORT FOR OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE President, Technology migration, training, maintenance, support LibLime Featuring Koha Open-Source ILS jmf@liblime.com |Full Demos at http://liblime.com/koha |1(888)KohaILS
